I just KNEW it Becca! So freaking happy for you, I knew we were destined to get our BFPs in the same month! :j

Welcome Faithhope too! :wave: Congratulations!

Becca, don't worry about the bleeding you mentioned on the TTC thread, I had a little at first but so far everything's fine. (I was doing a CB Digi once a week to make sure! )

OMG welcome Becca!! yeah and welcome faithhope good luck ladies and huge congratulations

I have been to the midwife and she is sorting me a scan appointment should be very soon!! ekk it almost feels real! 2 more little weeks until I am 12 weeks!

I got some bounty packs to with loads of freebies

Birdie85

I haven't signed up for the Bounty pack yet. Feel really cautious for some reason about signing up for anything yet! I think I'll go crazy once I see my little bean on screen (still agggggges to wait!).

BZ, in all the excitement I forgot to say that I'm excited for you about your scan!

I've gone off coffee, am down to 1 tea a day but I'm going off that too, taking folic acid, iron, berocca and pregnacare every day, hope I'm not overdosing!

Unless you've been told you need high doses of iron and folic acid, I would stop taking the separate supplements. Pregnacare has all the iron and folic acid the average pregnant woman needs. Too much iron might cause you digestion problems. I doubt the folic acid will be a problem, but even so, you're currently taking double the usual dose.

Becca - I think 2-3 on a digi makes you around 5-6 weeks, so that could well be implantation bleeding, I had that and it scared the pants off me but they said no pain with it, no worries and if there was any pain, they'd scan. I did have pain but all was fine so don't be afraid to check with EPU if you're worried but it's very common. I'm so made up for you!

What's the bleeding like, becca0417 (mentioned on the other thread)? It's not uncommon to bleed around the time your period's due, plus it could be implantation bleeding. Generally speaking if it's brown or pale red/pink then it's probably nothing to worry about. Thick, fresh blood particularly with clots and especially if accompanied by cramping is obviously more of a problem.

The biggest congratulations in all the world Becca! I literally did a little jump for joy at my desk when I saw your post here :j:j:j:j:j so so pleased it's worked for you, you've struggled so hard for this that I hope you have the easiest pregnancy and the most beautifulest baby

Apparently some bleeding when your period is due is to be expected as hormones are funny things but it's not something i've experienced so not really of any help lol

What was it you had this cycle, notclomidbutlikeclomid and a trigger shot?

How are you telling DH? any symptoms? proper excited for you! x

PS I've been constipated since i found out, which considering i'm taking metformin is a massive achievement for my hormones lol x

I'm very anaemic with lower than average platelet count so need the iron but I've finished my box of folic acid now so will just stick to Pregnacare for that, although I've read that women who have miscarried might benefit from higher doses of folic acid (I think I wrote it down incorrectly before, I have been taking about 5 x Tesco folic acid 400mcg a day so that's 2g I think and I've read about women being told to take 5g by their doctors). I've also been taking a vitamin D a day for a couple of weeks, I think I must have very expensive urine!

It's a bit of a stressful day at work today so I'm trying to stay calm and not let it get to me....need to meditate....ommmm
